Corporal punishment in schools. Is it time to bring back the strap?

wow people still going on about it

yea PTAs can only go so far before they go rogue according to one wannabe Principal I talked to who liked to be the only one in control . She reminded me of Mrs Trunchbull in Matilda who kept a chokey chamber in her back office.

Has anyone seen the movie Heathers? There are Heathers in every school.

You bring up some good points. I had the opportunity to take a course called growing kids God's way. One of the things that stuck with me the most was that much of what children do needs training and not punishment. Foolishness is bound up in the heart of a child according to Proverbs. Children are a forgetful lot. What many parents view as rebellion is just lack of training.
Before punishment is meted out, it should be determined whether the child's actions are rebellious in nature or merely foolishness.
It's simple enough to do. By giving the child the opportunity to correct or do the action required will let you know. If they comply, it is usually a matter of foolishness which can be corrected with training. If they do not comply, it is generally rebellion which necessitates some form of punishment.
I offer this explanation because punishing foolishness can lead to deep-seated resentment on the part of children. When they are punished for things that they never intentionally disobeyed, they will inevitably feel they have been unjustly dealt with.

I saw a lot of teachers werent able to assess the situation properly if they were just reacting out of anger.

it seems some just wanna justifying smacking small children cos they dont really know how to handle them. And dogs? Well never had my own dog but I would never have smacked a cat to try and teach it to obey lol

with dogs you meant to train them with treats I do know when theyve been abused by their neglectful owners who dont train them it scars them for life. I remember dog sitting and this dog was a former pound dog and she wanted to come with me to work, she couldnt bear staying at home by herself.

One of my friends whos a grandma got in trouble with her daughter when she tired to 'spank" her one year old grandson for being naughty.

Im not sure what the situation was although I heard it from the grandmas POV. Maybe the daughter wasnt watching I dont know. Maybe the daugher wanted to be the only one doing the ' spanking'.

I think with 1 year olds and toddlers they just want to explore and need boundaries and watching first before being beaten up for doing what they are probably naturally going to do.
